reassigned the students and teachers to other parts of the building and then called the local and regional health officials to review the situation.

Bivona said he's been told that when the pipes are made, oil is rubbed on them as part of the process.

When the heat was turned on, the pipes emitted an odor as the oil burned off.

Morganti Construction is working on the problem, wiping down the pipes, and when the odor is gone, the students will return to the rooms, Bivona said.

"Until the situation is resolved, those rooms will not be used,'' Bivona said.

In an e-mail sent home to parents Monday afternoon, Luizzi wrote said "as a precautionary measure, four classrooms at Brookfield High School have been temporarily closed. The teachers in these rooms reported a smell, which was making them uncomfortable teaching in the rooms all day.

"This proactive measure will enable Morganti to investigate the source of the smell and eliminate it from the rooms," Luizzi wrote. "We are optimistic that this will be remedied quickly and that we will be using the rooms again soon."
